I am auctioning a chance to be the purchaser of a new prototype custom wallet that may or may not ever enter actual retail production.  You choose the BTC vanity prefix, & provide a face to be engraved on the coin!  I suggest a simple sketch style picture of a face to make it more easily recognizable, but am willing to attempt to engrave any image. 

As the winner of this auction you will receive 1 custom engraved 1oz .999 silver coin.  One side of the coin will be covered with a NastyFans hologram and engraved with a vanity address type of your choosing.  Upon winning, you will select your vanity address prefix by selecting 7 characters.  As a prototype, you can expect such details like an indention for the hologram to be omitted. This is also blank coin, so all images are engraved and not stamped onto the coin.

Starting Bid: *0.01 BTC
Minimum Bidding Increment: 0.01 BTC
Auction Ends: Monday, July 25th (Around Sunset in the US)
Buy It Now: A total of 5 will be available at a price of 0.34 BTC shipped free worldwide until the auction closes.

*Winning auction bidder must provide a shipping label or pay for USPS Priority shipping.

I'm not sure how well a "photo" style image like this would engrave, but I am certainly willing to give it a try.

I'm assuming people are still able to bid normally for the remaining ones.

I'll do a BIN at  0.34 BTC for one.

Definitely.  Bidding will continue until Monday night regardless of the BIN circumstances.

These coins are an awesome idea and I'm glad to see the design I came up with in IRC.  :)

Did you get a free one for such a cool idea for a coin?

It was my idea/design and I'm glad you think it is cool.  digicoinuser photoshopped the Dorian face on it.  I was using it as an example of what is possible.  The original design was actually used on our t-shirts.

Ah, still a nice fresh idea is always nice. I am getting rather bored of coins with a BTC on them.

Thanks. As a side note, this is actually my first coin that has the Bitcoin logo. Even if it is most likely too small to see.

 Can the design be changed for a females face? If the answer is no please don't count my bid

Are the face images going to minted or engraved as a separate part of production?

There is a probably a difference between minting vs engraving.

I could remove the hair and replace the entire head with an image your provide.  Hair is usually a difficult thing to get right, so keeping in mind that providing a solid image in the style it is replacing would yield the best results.



The below quote from the OP explains it best.  This is a prototype style round to explore the community's reaction to a custom engraved coin and not a minted product.  Everything will be engraved at once using one source, so a difference in face vs the rest of the coin lies in the style of the provided image.

Very nice.  That would be interesting.  Any other crazy designs out there?

Sure, but you already know the one. IIRC you just loved it ;)

Some interesting options so far.  :)  Roughly 9 hours to go!

lmao...pretty interesting set of coins indeed. I can not wait to see how these turn out.

Is there only one winner from the auction or will there be multiple winning bids?

If there was enough demand, I could see making these coins available as a more refined product. 



I am also curious as I have never engraved images on polished silver blanks before.



There will only be 1 winner of the auction at the bidding price.

What time does this end?

I'm not sure, but his post before seemed to hint at central or mountain time.

I'm thinking a guy Fawkes face would be a nice touch on this one.

Looks like it's a successful snipe for digicoinuser!  Congratulations.

Nice, let's make this one a reality.  :)

Congrats digi.  I let you have this one once I saw you bid.

Thanks bithalo!  I'm looking forward to the design you select for your coin.  :)

I'm toying with the idea to have a picture of my son, and giving him the coin.  He's 8 now and collects physical bitcoins that I give him. 

That sounds awesome and it would be a really special gift.  Glad to hear another young collector is being taught physical bitcoins!   8)

First look at the Mantis Coin.

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/3S1EP.jpeg

I'd have one with the Mantis but .34 shipped is a little pricey for me.
If any available of the 5 mentioned, even though the auction is over, I'd be happy to buy one at a lower price.
But understand if not possible :)

Sorry. It wouldn't be fair to undercut the auction price.

Understood, thanks for getting back.
PM sent. :)

Awesome, doesn't looked washed out from what I can tell and the image looks crisp.  :)

It's all boxed up and ready to ship (along with your other order).  I am impressed with how it came out, but that is just my opinion.  I have one more address to find and then I will finish making the images to engrave all the custom vanity coins as well.  I should have all the images finished today and tomorrow I should be able to finish engraving and putting everything together (if my images are aligned correctly).  I believe I will be able to ship them all out by this weekend if there are no unforeseen problems.

Much appreciated, thanks for sharing the final image with the community and I hope bithalo is happy with his engraving as well! 

I haven't submitted my photo yet.  I need to get on it.

My StayNasty Mantis has arrived.

Looking nice and nasty ;)

Marks are on the case, coin looks and feels great!
